Alimony Dispute

I was very happy with the outcome of me contacting Todd Miller regarding an alimony dispute. He and his assistant Nicole were prompt in responding to my questions and needs. Very professional and explained everything. The process was very easy. Since I haven’t needed a lawyer post divorce it can be s...ome what intimidating. It all went smoothly and quickly. I would definitely recommend his services!

Blah

This is the most boring human being in the world. Doesn’t listen. Doesn’t pay attention. Not a good dude. Do not hire this robot!

Would NOT Recommend

Todd seems bored by what he does, he lacks passion, has little to no fight in him, and if lawyers had such a thing as “bedside manner” Todd’s bedside manner would be nonexistent. He has little patience or tolerance for the emotional side of a divorce and does nothing to make things easier on his cli...ents. His paralegal Nichole is really no better in that regard. I also found myself having to follow up multiple times to make sure things were getting done in a timely manner. Mistakes were made by them that could have and frankly should have been avoided. Ultimately after 6 months, and right before we were supposed to go to trial I finally became so frustrated by the service (or lack thereof) that I was being given I decided to voice my frustrations in an email. I felt I wasn’t being heard, they weren’t doing their due diligence, and I was fed up. I made it clear I would be writing a review of my experience with their law firm and it would be honest. I did not use derogatory language, I simply voiced my concerns to them. They did not take my negative feedback well and Todd decided to withdraw as my lawyer. That’s right, in the 11th hour they quit my case because their feelings were hurt. In 6 months I spent over $20,000 in legal fees to this firm, only to get nowhere with my case. I will not be recommending this firm to anyone.

Professional, honest and attentive

Todd was recommended to me by a friend and he proved to be a great choice. He was open and honest every step of the way through my divorce, even when it wasn't what I wanted to hear. He kept me centered on what was important, and also fought for things that were important to me. He helped me let g...o of things that weren't worth fighting for, and was realistic about negotiations and outcomes. Sometimes the divorce process seems like it is being drug out by the attorneys so they can make more money, but I never got that from Todd. The process took longer that hoped, but Todd always kept up on his responsibilities, and was always prompt when communicating with me. I would highly recommend him!

Exactly What I needed

I retained Todd for my divorce and I could not have made a better choice. He was prompt and factual, yet sensitive and delicate when needed. My divorce was nearly effortless and complete in record time. Since my divorce I have needed further assistance and Todd and his staff are a call or email aw...ay at all times. I will use him again for any matter related to custody and would recommend him to anyone going through divorce.
